DSF Oktoberfest

It was great to see different diverse groups of people come. Surprisingly we had more women than men, showing the glass ceiling is being broken, which is always the goal.

“Second year back, we have met so many fantastic people from data scientists to data engineers.
I really enjoy the festival & the partnership with the Data Science Festival.”

Supporting Career Day with the Data Science Festival gives Digital Futures an advantage because it connects us with the incredible talent that’s part of the DSF community. There are so many incredible people here that we have met and spoken to all day, and all of them are really just looking to get their foot in the door. Being able to connect with them here in this space with like-minded people that want that first opportunity shows the power of an event like this.

I went through the DSF mentorship programme at a critical juncture of my career when I was changing fields from academia to data science. Being able to discuss all aspects of this transition with my mentor was a godsend opportunity. I’ve learnt a great deal in this programme and am ready to start my new job with a much higher level of confidence.
